Mikro Project, a company based in Zagreb, Croatia, has recently introduced Kondor AX “Advanced System Development Board” combining Freescale i.MX6Solo processor with Lattice ECP5 FPGA, and targeting “low power applications at the network edge including HetNet (Heterogeneous Networks), Small Cells, Industrial IoT gateways and IP Cameras.”

The company provides a Linux BSP for Freescale i.MX 6 Solo processor that includes device drivers, applications/services, libraries, GNU Tools (compilers, linkers, …) and “deployment mechanisms”. The ECP5 FPGA can be programmed over JTAG and SPI using Lattice Diamond Programmer from a computer, or directly with i.MX6 using command line tools. The board documentation including the flyer, a Linux BSP setup guide, and the user’s manuals, as well as tutorials for some demos can be found in the download page.
MikroProjeckt did not provide availability nor pricing information for the board, but I’ve been told the sample price is $1,800 + shipping, with a one week lead-time. More details can be found on MikroProjekt’s Kondor AX product page.
